The intensity of direct sunlight befor ...

The intensity of direct sunlight befor it passes through the
earth's atmosphere is `1.4kW|m^2`. If it is completely absorbed, find the
corresponding radiation pressure.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For completely absorbing surface,
`P_(rad) = (i)/(c ) = 1.4xx10^3)/(3.0xx10^8)`
`=4.7xx10^(-6) Nm^(-2)`.
